Foods Co charitable campaign to benefit Children’s Hospitals

Foods Co is pleased to announce that it is raising funds to support UC Davis Children’s Hospital and UC San Francisco Children’s Hospital.

Foods Co customers and associates can support the two children’s hospitals through the supermarket chain’s nonprofit arm, The Foods Co Fund, by donating their spare change in collection canisters located at the checkstands in their neighborhood Foods Co store. The children’s hospital fund-raising campaign runs from February 1 to May 26, 2017.

“Foods Co believes strongly in giving back to the community,” said Bryan Kaltenbach, President of Foods Co. “We’re pleased to extend our commitment to our local children’s hospitals and give families and children hope through the outstanding work these hospitals do to provide world-class medical care for children.”

Children’s hospitals that will benefit from the charitable fundraising drive include:

UC Davis Children’s Hospital

UC San Francisco Benioff Children’s Hospital

Valley Children’s Hospital (Fresno)

Foods Co operates 22 stores in central and northern California, including six stores in the Bay Area, four stores in the greater Sacramento Valley area and seven stores in the Fresno area.

Since 2005, Foods Co and its sister company, Southern California-based Food 4 Less, have combined to give more than $1.5 million to children’s hospitals.
